First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study aimed to understand how psychological factors like personality and motivation influence whether older adults (55+) use a smartphone app to track physical activity. Participants would have used the WeWard app for 12 weeks while researchers monitored steps, walking speed, and distance. The study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available.
